Palm Treo 680 Patch

Any 680 users out there should download and install the patch at http://euro.palm.com/europe/en/support/downloads.html#Treo680.
Apparently the camera on the 680 can continue to drain power even when the phone is in standby mode. We wondered why some users said that battery life was not great which is unusual for a Palm device.

Any problems with the patch , contact the techies at Crimson Tide.

World's most powerful smartphone

Our chum Luke has discovered what we think is the world's most powerful smartphone. Unveiled at CES in Las Vegas (why weren't we there?) Seamless WiFi, Inc's new smartphone, the S-XGen. What makes it special? The 520 megahertz processor, 20 gigabyte hard disk, integrated WiFi and a full-sized fold-out qwerty keyboard, for starters. The device also comes with built-in gaming controls and a 4.25 inch TFT 470 x 270 resolution screen.
The only downside is that its a bit of a "lump" at the following spec Length = 6.5” – Height = 3.8” - Width = 1.125” Weight = 14oz. Picture here...http://x.msmobiles.com/portal/podcasts/ces2007-s-xgen.wmv

If you need a powerful unit it could be for you. UK price to come but we reckon £550 will be about the price point.

Catch you next time

Mobile Enterprise Market to take off

I note that top research chappies IDC are saying that the mobile enterprise market is set to take off big style. I agree. The move from voice to data comms between field based sales guys like me will certainly mean that companies will need to mobilise their appliocations or change the way they work. People with info at the point of business ( isn't that a Good Technology slogan?) will have the upper hand.

Have a good weekend

By the way those boys at Crimson Tide now have an online store for hardware. I understand they hope to offer a much wider catalog soon. Nice work guys.

jabra headset with the TyTn

Just a note to say that the Jabra 250v headset is working well with the tyTn, especially impressive is the voice-dialling. I've not been entirely happy with the Jabra in the past but the quality and ease of use with the TyTn is excellent.

Cheers for now

The Magnificent HTC TyTn

Just thought I'd let everyone know abot my new HTC TyTn. It's really filling the gap that I've had for a number of years when my old Ipaq and Nokia were the "ultimate mobile solution" . With GPRS/3G and WiFi, the TyTn really gets the job done. I'm getting two days battery life which is fine for me. I've turned down the display and have 3G switched off unless I need it.


This great Windows Mobile Device is loaded with Good Mobile Messaging (nice and secure) and I'm now loading all my old utilities (Pocket Informant, Tube London etc). Microsoft even let me have a copy of Space Invaders for free!


That's it - more TyTn stuff later

Ciao!
